Does this use the same handlebar bracket as the Excursion QR? I'd like to be able to easily swap back and forth between them. Thanks!

It probably does not have the same bracket since the Avenir mini just attaches with velcro straps around the handle bar. It does need a special bracket.

The Mini Metro Handlebar Bag doesn't use a bracket. It has two Velcro straps on top and an adjustable clip-strap at the bottom.

Yes, these shifters clamp to the handlebar. They do work very well; I prefer them to indexed shifters for casual riding and reliable, easily "tuned" shifting (to eliminate noisy misalignment common to indexed shifters that aren't tuned perfectly).

The bracket that is attached to the handle bars is two pieces that can be tightend/loosend/adjusted with screws. I've used mine on different bikes with no problems. I suppose you could use longer screws to attach it if you have a problem. It's a very nice product.

Absolutely. The front handle-bars only attach to a mounting clap and have no other structural function. I left them off as I would probably hit them with my knee as I had to turn the console up as far as I could to prevent contact with my knee. Frankly I wished the console were smaller. The bottle holder and 'reading tray' are not needed. I do wonder if the smaller console of the model before this one would work on this bike. Might call the company and ask them.

I installed it on my Electra Beach Cruiser last year and had no issues as it simply replaces the existing hub. make sure you buy the handlebar control that is separate from this. I think you will enjoy it as I do. Regards,

yes the chain guard and the knobs to adjust the seat and handlebars. Also the yellow knob that changes the pressure/difficulty on the fly wheel. The chain guard is the only think I would worry about breaking though. I have hit it with my foot a bunch of times and it hasn't broken yet!

Yes, The bracket is versatile. I mounted one on my 2007 KLR650 with a aftermarket rack and works great. When I bought my Bestem box the led lites had some that didn't function, emailed Bestem with a picture of the malady, they sent out a new lite strip no charge. They mentioned they were working on a box with turn signals built in, but haven't seen it as of yet. Rick

Sorry I never replied here -- but here's a link to some photos of the strap setup (scroll down to the bottom of the discussion):http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=440646

Mine is similar to the 2nd image with the bike. The design has obviously changed over the years since I bought mine because the one in the first picture has the black device which has to be pulled to release holder from the rack. Mine did not. Any design with the releasable pull is better because it is more apt to not be knocked off of the rail when you are either picking up or rehanging your bike on the rail.

No, the handlebars do not move at all. I prefer it myself. And as far as the overall bike goes, it is very sturdy and reliable. I've owned a ProForm before and that's why I got this one. The exercise programs that come included are very good and you can do your own. You don't even have to use a program but sit on it and pedal away. I enjoy mine and use it every day. There is never a problem with it that I have encountered.

Hey Philip, I'm not sure where to get spares for this, you could try the manufacturers website; I do have a spare handlebar mount which I would be happy to post out to you for no charge. The Airzound mount was too narrow for the drop bars on my KTM road bike, so I used a dremel with a diamond bit to cut a groove in the housing of the horn so that I could secure it to the bar with cable ties - fits perfectly and is more secure. Drop me your address and I will post you the mount for free. Best regards, Jeff.

The QR is used for those that want or have panniers with their trunk bag. This keeps the panniers from crashing into the chain and wheel while riding.Please note the weight restrictions when useing a beam rack. If you intend on loading, go for the full frame mount. Hope this helps :-) J.

My son uses it for his paper route and has no problems. There is a bracket that swivels with the back of the bike. The bracket doesn't allow for really sharp turns as the tire will hit the bar, but it does allow for up and down movement along with the swivel.

No. The upright handlebar is bolted to the frame. I would not recommend working the bolt loose often, which could compromise the threads.

No it does not. If you want to mount it to the handlebars, you will need to provide your own brackets. I purchased a set off of Amazon site when I bought my system.

The ring to mount is very small. I could not put on handlebars or anywhere else on my racer or touring bike. I just carry with me. It does give me confidence although I will try to out pedal the beasties if possible.
